?? This #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the pioneering spirit of Mária Telkes, the “Sun Queen” who helped shape the future of solar energy! A true innovator, Telkes developed the first solar-powered heating system for homes, contributed to solar desalination, and pushed the boundaries of what was possible with renewable energy. Her passion for the sun’s power made her a trailblazer in a field where women were rare—but her impact shines on today. ??? At Sugar Hollow Solar, we’re inspired by pioneers like Telkes as we continue to drive innovation and inclusivity in the solar industry. The future is bright, and together, we’re making it even brighter! ???
关于我们
Simply put: we focus on providing solutions that transition your home, business, or other building away from fossil fuels and give you more comfort, control, and savings. We’re all about beautifully designed, people-first solutions to our current energy challenges. Right now, those solutions are solar electric systems (rooftop or ground mounted), battery backup, maintenance on those systems, and EV charger installations that don’t require trenching for Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina homes and businesses. We’re always keeping up with innovation in the industry, and will certainly add new products when we feel they are ready to help people. If you're ready to join to solar movement, or you just have a question- email or call us today! www.sugarhollowsolar.com Our co-founders, Phelps Clarke (2010 - 2022) and Doug Ager were born loving this land. Two cousins with four generations of Blue Ridge Mountain land-tending running through their veins. As kids, they explored the forests and farmland surrounding Sugar Hollow Road and had the values of land stewardship and being servant leaders instilled in them. (Speaking of servant leaders, maybe you’re familiar with James Clarke or John Ager? They are Doug & Phelps’ elders who have served in the US Congress and NC State House, respectively.) These two are deeply rooted in doing good in and for this region. Fast forward a few years and Phelps and Doug started Sugar Hollow Solar with a simple goal: create a great business that helps heal the world. They had become aware of the existential threat of climate change and wanted to build a business that could create meaningful jobs in their home community and tackle climate change at the same time. Since the company’s first solar installation in 2010, every year has solidified their vision: it’s possible to do right by our community and our planet while building a successful business that can exist for the long haul.

?? National Unplugging Day – March 7 ?? If you're reading this… that means you need to LIKE this post, then power down and step outside! ???? Unplugging isn’t just good for your mental health—it’s good for the planet, too. When you take a break from screens, you’re also giving your electronics (and the grid) a rest. Less energy waste = a happier Earth! ???? So today, swap screen time for sunshine time. Take a hike, ride your bike, or just sit in the sun and soak up those rays—just like solar panels do every day! ???
